My Interview with the Author:

When did you first realize that you wanted to be a writer/ a storyteller?
I have been writing since I was a little girl. My first poem was when I was less than 10 years old. Usually I wrote for myself, but after reading so many books in past years I wanted to give myself a chance and here I am, finally a published author.

What inspires you to write?
Everything has a story and an inspiration. Some hit home, some miss. People around me and daily events I witness inspire me to write.

Are there some stories tucked away in some drawer that was written before and never saw the light of the day?
Just like every other author, I have couple of stories in my shelf which I have never shared with anyone. However, I do hope to take them out one day 

Tell us about your writing process.
My writing process is very simple, I get inspired by an idea and cook up a whole story from start to end in my head. Once I am content that it can be shaped in a good form I pen it down. 
While writing I do change a lot of things and they depend on how the story flows (you see what you think usually doesn’t turn out same when you execute)

What is your favorite scene in the book? Why?
It is the love confession scene of Jai and Jia. It is like the most waited moment of the story and the love that it emits is simply blissful

Did any of your characters inherit some of your own quirks?
Yes, the weird silence yet chattiness of Jia is something I have. 

Do you read? Who are your favourite authors and how have they influenced your writing style?
I read a lot of books; my favourite author is J.K. Rowling. 
What I read has not influenced my writing style however it does inspire me to write more creatively and beautifully

What is the best piece of advice you have received, as a writer, till date?
“Learn to accept rejections and reject acceptance” – something I learnt in the very initial phase of my writing and I am glad to have learnt it

What is the best piece of advice you would give to someone that wants to get into writing?
Be yourself and have patience as being a writer is not an easy road to go down

What would be the Dream Cast for you book if it was to be turned into a movie?
Hrithik Roshan always :)

How do you spend your free time? Do you have a favorite place to go and unwind?
I spend my free time with my husband. We like to stay home and watch some movies or TV series… 

Can you share with us something off your bucket list?
I want to travel all the beautiful beaches across the world…
